Pros

Great staff of teachers; classroom autonomy for the most part.

Cons

Administration isn't supportive of teachers who experience difficulty in the classroom. All teachers work extremely hard, but can be subjected to very demeaning reprimands. Administration isn't open to feedback unless the feedback is directed at teachers.
